Age Of Apocalypse "In Oblivion"

LP - $17.25 / CD - $8.75
LP UPC: 199066784730
CD UPC: 199350055478
STREET DATE: 12/05/25

LABEL: Closed Casket Activities

Born out of Hudson Valley's ever-evolving scene in 2018, Age of Apocalypse has proven themselves to be the next evolutionary step in bringing metallic hardcore with sung vocals to a modern era.

The band is set to release their second full-length LP In Oblivion through Closed Casket Activities, due out May 23rd. The record takes everything that caught the world's attention on 2022’s Grim Wisdom and triples down on it all, showing their penchant for writing genuinely huge metallic hardcore epics without eschewing any of the frenetic energy inherent to the genre.

In Oblivion was produced by Taylor Young (Twitching Tongues, God's Hate) and partially recorded at The Pit. Young's work both as a musician and his clear history in playing hardcore centered around clean singing comes out in spades, as In Oblivion manages to help progress this dynamic into a new era. The record features guest appearances from Colin Young (Twitching Tongues, Holy Blade), Demonstration of Power, and Graham Sayle (High Vis), marking the first time the band has incorporated guest vocals on a release.

Singer Dylan Kaplowitz has truly come into his own as a frontman as his voice soars to operatic heights in one moment, crashing down to hellish lows in screaming the next. Opener "Mortal Coil" shows Kaplowitz standing comfortably next to what Steele, Caputo and Jenkins were doing in the 90s, while bringing his own flair and emotive ability to the forefront. The rest of the band flourishes equally, as Jack Xiques' riffs blend together everything from Stigmata, Section 8, Randy Rhoads and Paul Gilbert into a singular, thrilling sound. While many have tried and failed to bridge the gap between clean vocals and hardcore, Age of Apocalypse have taken the throne as modern masters of the sound.

Having already played with the likes of Sunami, Mindforce, High Vis, Indecision, Earth Crisis and more, 2025 will prove Age of Apocalypse is here, and there's no end in sight.

Ultraviolence "We Hate You"

LP - $15.30
STREET DATE: 12/05/25
CAT#: RADIO-027
LABEL: Radio Raheem

Ultra Violence, one of the most enigmatic New York Hardcore bands of the 1980s, finally gets their due with the release of their long-lost LP sessions originally recorded circa 1984–85 for Big City Records. Students of NYHC have no doubt seen countless "Ultra Violence album coming soon!" mentions in fanzines and on flyers, but for reasons lost to the sands of time, this record never came to be.

Though starting in 1981, the band didn't fully hit their stride until late '82/early '83 when the core lineup of Tommy Kennedy (bass), Dave Manzullo (guitar) and Charlie "Rage" Sclafani (drums) brought on local artist/shirt printer Tony "T-Shirt" Meyers as lead vocalist and began playing frequent gigs in the tri-state area and recording comp tracks for Big City Records. Other members came and went over the years, but the band developed a unique brand of slow and pounding metal-tinged hardcore that stands out from their early contemporaries, setting the stage for the crunch of late 80s NYHC but still firmly rooted in the sounds of New York City punk. Astute listeners may even catch a few crossover riffs and lyrics from Lower East Side Crew-era WarZone, as the bands shared a songwriter in drummer Charlie Rage.

This LP collects 16 tracks from the unreleased LP sessions along with all five of their Big City Records compilation tracks and a few choice live cuts from the band members' archives. In typical Radio Raheem style, also included is a 28-page, 12"x12" full-color booklet crammed with photos, flyers, and other ephemera, with liner notes by Tommy Kennedy.

Cloakroom "Last Leg Of The Human Table"

LP - $17.25 / CD - $8.75
LP UPC: 199066295991
CD UPC: 199066330753
STREET DATE: 12/05/25

LABEL: Closed Casket Activities

Cloakroom released their last album “Dissolution Wave” into the world on January 28th, 2022, commemorating their 10th anniversary as a band.  The trio spent the months that followed embarking on a number of tours, growing together as a cohesive unit and pushing the boundaries of what could be accomplished in a short amount of time together. At one point, the troupe traveled from Chicago to Salt Lake City and back in a mere six days, playing six shows in the process and traveling no less than 600 miles a day. As the calendar flipped to 2024, Cloakroom launched on their most ambitious schedule to date, playing 27 shows across Europe in just over four weeks time. While this is being written, the band is resting their bones after a 34 date North American run that was completed in 37 days.

By their own standards, their new album ‘Last Leg of the Human Table’ is a couple of years early. After an upstate New York evening spent with Closed Casket Activities owner Justin Louden, the group agreed upon a deal to work together with the label on their next LP. Initially setting out to test the waters with a four-song EP, Cloakroom booked three days at the famed Electrical Audio studio in Chicago in December of 2023 and set out to write a batch of new material. The composing sessions between singer/guitar player Doyle Martin and bass player Bobby Markos proved more fruitful than expected though, and soon the band was faced with the dilemma of picking which songs to include on an abbreviated release and which to save for the future long play.

No doubt inspired by their hectic touring schedules, Cloakroom decided to set out on tracking an entire LP in the three days of booked studio time while on the way to Chicago. After a few long nights of rehearsing and writing with drummer Timothy Remis, the group entered the house that Albini built with longtime collaborator and engineer Zac Montez to begin tracking the ten song effort. Through a rigorous work schedule over the next 72 hours, the band was able to capture the skeleton of the album before driving to Kalamazoo, Michigan and Fort Wayne, Indiana for a couple of end of the year gigs. The band would round out the week by spending some time at Rec Room Studios in Palos Hills, Illinois to lay down some overdubs and further complete the record.

“Last Leg of the Human Table” is not a post-apocalyptic record or a work of science fiction like Cloakroom’s previous LP. If Dissolution Wave was a space western following an asteroid miner protagonist, Last Leg brings the observer back to Earth where most things are not as they’re cracked up to be. For Cloakroom the world of modernity is in polycrisis and America has lost its soul. Narrative fetishism is all too usual of a literary mechanism for Cloakroom. If you listen closely you can hear the concern; not just for the teetering social structure but for what it means to be human and the high cost of the human experience.

T.S Eliot’s ominous “not with a bang but a whimper” has gotten a lot of traction in a post-pandemic world, maybe even too much one could say. That whimper is just tinnitus to Cloakroom; here is the sound of a furnace that can’t stop running. That tonal resonance plays in-between songs on Volume 4 of the band’s discography. Recorded at Chicago’s staple Electrical Audio, there could not be more of a hallowed space to capture this body of work. 

Every song is a different sound working together to showcase Cloakroom’s genre-bending capabilities and seemingly vast array of influences; whether it be the sampling of the post-disco Detroit group Was (Not Was) or the lifted NASA recording of the humming of Saturn’s rings. Engineer Zac Montez (Whirr, Turnover) whom the band has referred to as an integral part of the band once again aided in smoothing out the rough parts and turning up the quiet. 

The album is truly sonically inspiring. Shoegaze, doom, post-punk, folk just scratch the surface on the band’s shortest yet seemingly most substantial release to date. “Last Leg of the Human Table” can sound sardonic in its nature and it probably is, but this group has always found some wonder in the scurrying chaos of modern life. In 37 minutes, the album almost imbues a sense of responsibility to the listener as if one leg were to falter the whole table will fall.

Ingrown "Idaho"

LP - $17.25 / CD - $8.75
LP UPC: 198846082868
CD UPC: 199066586235
STREET DATE: 12/05/25
CAT#: CLCR136
LABEL: Closed Casket Activities

New York, Boston, LA… American hardcore’s most lauded scenes better watch out for Idaho. Ingrown aren’t just Boise’s loudest export, they’re one of the most vicious and uniquely compelling up-and-coming bands in all of aggressive music, and their sophomore full-length, Idaho, is the gun-toting, dirt-bike-riding, hell-raising proof.

Ingrown–vocalist/guitarist Ross Hansen, bassist Gavin McWilliams, and drummer Charlie Ritch–started in 2015, and over the course of the past decade they’ve gone from being their state’s best kept secret to an internationally touring juggernaut. The group released their debut album GUN in 2021 (drawing attention from the likes of Stereogum, Revolver, Decibel, and more), and toured it heavily supporting bands like Trapped Under Ice, Regional Justice Center, Drain, and Pain of Truth. The time on the road further honed their already razor sharp chops, laying the groundwork for the unbridled aggression that is Idaho.

Recorded with Andy Nelson (Jesus Piece, Pain of Truth, Inclination, Weekend Nachos) at Bricktop Studio In Chicago, Idaho pushes Ingrown’s visceral sonics even further into the red. “Andy understands our band and our sound better than we do sometimes,” says Hansen. “He has an amazing way of capturing a performance in the most precise way possible without losing any rawness or power.” Clocking in at eleven songs over just 18 minutes, the album swings between pummelling heaviness and blistering speed, drawing on the technicality of death metal and thrash without losing the unhinged spark of hardcore and powerviolence.

Idaho is above all else an ode to Ingrown’s home state and the indelible impact living there has had on the band members. Tracks like “Cold Steel,” “Bullet,” and “Enemy” paint a picture of guns, bikes, and self-reliance, but that’s just one side of Ingrown’s coin. The group’s love for their local community permeates Idaho, lending it a surprisingly earnest and heartfelt touch for a record that also makes you want to smash your head through a brick wall. It’s an album that has nothing but vitriol for the woefully inadequate institutions that have been broken by corruption and greed, instead encouraging the kind of strength that’s found within yourself and the people closest to you. “We’re all on our own in life and that can make you feel alone and helpless,” Hansen explains. “You only have your family and your community to support you. But knowing that can be freeing–you have the power to direct your own life.”

Idaho comes to a close with three tracks that capture Ingrown at their most unexpectedly compelling and unrelentingly crushing. First there’s “Asylum,” a song originally written by Hansen’s father, Erik, for his ‘80s hardcore band, State of Confusion. The track first appeared on S.O.C.’s 1988 debut album, A Street (“some of the first music I heard, and some of the best hardcore there is,” says the younger Hansen), and now it’s resurfaced with an Ingrown update on Idaho. The result is a feel-good moment within a feel-pissed song that still rips 37 years later.

Then there’s the penultimate track, “Hellbound,” a thunderous stomper that somehow manages to top the heaviness that just ensued in the previous sixteen minutes. As its final moments of shrieking feedback end, a plaintive chord rings out played by an acoustic guitar and banjo. These are the first notes of Idaho’s title track and closer, a medley of classic Irish jigs that the band has performed live. Ingrown proudly describe themselves as a band for “people who like Obituary, No Comment, 25 Ta Life, and Waylon Jennings” and while there’s certainly something funny about Idaho likely being the absolute heaviest album of 2025 to feature a mandolin, the title track isn’t a joke. Hansen’s earliest musical background includes learning to play bluegrass on Irish tenor banjo, and it makes “Idaho” feel like one more deeply felt exclamation point album that’s truly honest and assured in its sense of place–and the ways that place can shape you. In fact, “Idaho” is full of the same speed-picking and swagger that powers the rest of the album, and just like the preceding ten tracks it’s uniquely and thoroughly Ingrown.

Love Cry "Planting Bombs"

CDEP - $7.00
STREET DATE: 12/05/25
CAT#: SDR-153
LABEL: Sunday Drive

Long Island has always carried a distinct sound within hardcore, post-hardcore, and alternative music in general. The sound is inherently in Love Cry’s DNA. On their debut EP, “Planting Bombs”, the band expands on that foundation with a diverse mix of influences.

Songwriter Gerry Windus, who grew up on Long Island and played in various local bands, takes a different approach here. With Love Cry, he merges the electronic textures of The Postal Service with the raw, noisy edge of Neutral Milk Hotel, with a foundation of Long Island staples like Nightmare of You and Silent Majority.

Though “Planting Bombs” is Love Cry’s first release, the songwriting is already confident with a clear sense of identity, and one that feels refreshingly distinct.

TRACK LISTING:
01. Stare At The Sun
02. The Cracks
03. Sink The Ship
04. I See You Under
05. Mild Life
06. I Don't Feel A Thing

Enuf "Demo 1988"

7" EP - $7.00
STREET DATE: 12/05/25
CAT#: RADIO-033
LABEL: Radio Raheem

In the fall of 1987, aspiring Hardcore vocalist Ajay James hung a flyer in central Jersey record store Vintage Vinyl looking for musicians to form a Straight Edge Hardcore band. “It had so many X’s on it that it looked like a treasure map!” jokes guitarist Andy White, who called the number on the flyer to offer his services. Drummer Ari Katz and bassist Rich Seymour were already in the mix and practices with Andy began above Cheap Thrills, a record store located in the college town of New Brunswick.

Throughout the summer of 1988, Enuf played gigs with New York bands like Sick Of It All as well as local bands Shades Apart, Crucial Fun, and Bottom Line, who would later change their name to Release. With the courage gained from both finally being able to play their instruments and a steady stream of shows, the group decided to take a stab at recording, at a studio called Trax East that was right down the road from Andy’s house and used by other New Jersey bands such as TMA, Vision, and Sticks and Stones. The seven tracks laid down that day showed the influence New York Hardcore had on the band, most especially bands like Breakdown and Token Entry, but it was Enuf’s own brand of suburban Straight Edge fury and the unique style and charisma of their frontman that pushed it beyond the many demo tapes flooding the tri-state Hardcore scene at the time. Once the demo tape got out, Enuf got a substantial amount of gigs through the fall of 1988 with Raw Deal and Beyond as well as a monumental one with Bold, Vision and Life’s Blood on their home turf of New Brunswick at Scott Hall on the Rutgers campus.

1989 saw bass player Pete being kicked out due to breaking edge with Andy taking his place and Chip Iatoro, who played briefly with Enuf during their formative stages, taking over on guitar. But by the spring of that year, the band began to fall apart. They ended up playing their last show on April 30, 1989 at the Fast Lane in Asbury Park with some of the hardest of New York Hardcore: Raw Deal, Maximum Penalty, and Uppercut.

Over the years, the demo tape Enuf recorded in 1988 has taken on a mystique with those attracted to the lesser-known bands from this era of east coast Hardcore. Perhaps Ari going on to front the popular 90s band Lifetime has something to do with it as well. Whatever excuse you wish to place upon the interest, the songs still hold up as a passionately executed batch of solid tunes. Give it an ear and don’t forget to mosh, sucka!

The Attack "The Attack Is Back"

LP - $15.30
STREET DATE: 12/05/25
CAT#: RADIO-034
LABEL: Radio Raheem

The Attack was formed in 1979 by three guys from Astoria, Queens: Jason Deranged (vocals), Alex Morris (guitar) and Steve Pain (drums). Jason had put an ad in the Village Voice looking to form a band, and through the many responses he received, he got together with Alex and Steve and later, bassist Zal, who was an accomplished jazz player from Manhattan. The Attack began playing out around town with frequent shows at Max’s Kansas City, CBGB and 171A, performing alongside other young New York bands like The Stimulators, The Undead and The Eliminators. Soon after, the infamous A7 club opened its doors to punk music and The Attack became a monthly fixture.

In April of 1981 the band entered Second Story Sound in Long Island City to record an album. Seven songs were recorded, but due to a lack of funds the tapes were shelved and the record was never released.

By 1982, The Attack lost Zal to a drug overdose and Jason to a prison stint in Rikers Island. The band attempted to soldier on with various replacement bass players (including Vinnie Stigma of future Agnostic Front fame) but things came to an end shortly after. By the end of the year Alex would form Murphys Law, and Jason and Steve would start Krieg Kopf the following year.

Featuring 7 studio and 10 live songs recorded at NYC's most notorious punk venues (A7, 171A and CBGB), this LP compiles 17 tracks of never-before-heard Lower East Side punk that existed in the brief transitional period between the end of the 1970s NYC punk explosion and the beginnings of the 1980s New York hardcore scene. Also included is a 12"x24" full color insert filled with band ephemera and liner notes.
